House Control Remains Undecided After Election

As of Wednesday, Republicans are on the verge of maintaining their House majority with 12 races still uncalled, needing only two more wins for a secure majority. They have flipped seats in Colorado, two in Pennsylvania, and one in Michigan, while Democrats have gained three in New York. Current projections give Republicans a 99% chance of retaining control, with House Speaker Mike Johnson expressing optimism about a larger majority than the current 220-212 split. The GOP's control over both chambers of Congress is expected to facilitate the implementation of President-elect Trump's agenda, which includes significant tax reforms and immigration policies. However, the counting of votes is delayed in states like California, which has the largest number of uncounted ballots due to its population and election processes. Meanwhile, if the Democrats manage to win their leading races, they could end up with 213 seats, still falling short of a majority, thereby limiting their influence over Trump's legislative initiatives.
